š° Is your love for pickleball worth investing in?
Pickleball isnāt just taking over courtsāitās hitting Wall Street.
A recent MarketWatch report highlights how investors are eyeing pickleball-related companies as potential moneymakers.
One standout? Escalade Sports, the parent company of paddle brand Onix, which has seen a stock price boost thanks to pickleballās explosive growth.
But hereās where it gets interestingāZimmer Biomet, a midcap company that makes knee replacements, is also benefiting from the sportās popularity.
With more people playing pickleball (and some picking up injuries along the way), demand for orthopedic solutions is on the rise.
With more money flowing into the sport, some analysts believe pickleballās boom could be the next big investment opportunity.
So, could pickleball actually make you money? š¤
While weāre no stockbrokers, itās wild to see just how much financial momentum the sport is gaining.
What do you thinkāsmart move or another financial fad?

The shoe thatās built for pickleball

Iāve played in a lot of shoes, and letās be realāmost arenāt built for pickleball.
Some are too stiff, some wear out fast, and some just donāt have the grip you need. But the Tyrol Smash? They just feel right.
You can move how you need toācut, pivot, plant your feetāwithout feeling off balance. No weird wobbles, no worrying about rolling an ankle midpoint.
And the traction? Solid. Whether youāre grinding it out on an outdoor court or chasing down shots on a slick indoor surface, the VibramĀ® outsoles grip like they shouldāso you stay steady when it matters.
But honestly, the biggest thing for me? Theyāre comfortable. Breathable, cushioned, and easy to wear for hours without thinking about them.
If you play a lot, youāll get it.

š Agassi and Graf gear up for another epic pickleball battle
They wonāt be aloneāBen Johns, Anna Bright, Tyson McGuffin, Collin Johns, and more will be joining them for whatās shaping up to be an elite showdown.
š Mets broadcaster Hernandez disappointed in latest pickleball clip
A few weeks ago, a clip of a man and woman playing pickleball shown during a New York Mets spring training broadcast went viral.
The latest clip was a little more PC.

A bangerās dream paddle?

If youāre a banger and youāre on the lookout for a new power paddleā¦
The Gearbox Pro Ultimate Power launches TODAY and could be exactly what youāre looking for!
This new 2025 PBCoR and USAP Quiet-approved paddle packs a punchāseriously. If you like driving the ball hard and keeping your opponents on their heels, itās got the power to do it.
But itās not just about hitting big. The spin is impressive, especially on topspin drives. And at the kitchen? Counters come off the face quick.
That said, itās not the easiest paddle to control. If your paddle angle isnāt right, the ball can sail. Plus, the sweet spot is smaller than most, so mishits are less forgiving.
Because of that, Iād say itās best for advanced players who can handle the extra pop. If you have the hands to dial it in, itās a serious option.
Replacing Gearboxās Pro Power Elongated, the Ultimate Pro Power tones down the pop and power slightly.
And, at $274.99, itās a serious investmentābut if power is your game, this paddle is worth every cent.
